According to an embodiment, the electronic device can include at least one of a portion of furniture, building/construction or vehicle, an electronic board, an electronic signature receiving device, a projector, or various measuring devices (e.g., water supply, electricity, gas, or electric wave measuring device). According to various embodiments, the electronic device can be flexible or a combination of two or more of the foregoing various devices. The electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the foregoing devices. The term “user”, as used herein, can refer to a person using an electronic device or a device using an electronic device (e.g., an artificial intelligence electronic device).

According to various embodiments, information associated with a bank account can be registered in a terminal. When the bank account is registered, for example, all functions available with a card issued from the bank can be conducted at an ATM using the terminal. For example, a cash withdrawal, a cash transfer, an account inquiry, a loan service, or an additional task can be covered using the ATM.

A method for registering the bank account in the terminal includes a method for capturing and recognizing a card issued by a bank as an image, a method for entering card information using a magnetic or an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip of a card issued by a bank, a method for entering account information online or through another application in the terminal, a method for entering account information from a user, or a method for recognizing an image of a bankbook, and other methods.

A process for registering the bank account in the terminal can be divided into two, which are a “registration” process for registering the bank account and a “verification” process for verifying user information. In the “registration” process, corresponding information can be stored temporarily or permanently in the terminal. Next, for the “verification” process, a user is verified by connecting to a bank, a card company, or an external verification company over a network. After the “registration” process is completed, when the “verification” process is not conducted according to a user request or a network status, the “verification” process alone may be carried out based on user's input data in the “registration” process. For example, when the “registration” process is completed and the “verification” process is not executed, corresponding information may be deleted and the “registration” process may be initiated.

The terminal enters account information. A method for capturing and recognizing a card issued by a bank as an image, a method for entering card information using a magnetic or an IC chip of a card issued by a bank, a method for entering account information online or through another application in the terminal, a method for entering account information from a user, or a method for recognizing an image of a bankbook, and other methods can be used.

When at least part of a card number or an account number is input to the terminal, additional information relating to the account can be automatically input. The information automatically input can include a bank name. For example, a user may directly enter additional information relating to the account. The information directly entered can include the bank name.

A process for entering a password of an account can be included in the “registration” process. Corresponding information can be temporarily or permanently stored in the terminal. Corresponding information can be encrypted and then stored. A corresponding password can be hidden by * or shade at the same time as the entering. When a password is temporarily stored in the terminal, it can be stored until the “verification” process is performed. Corresponding information can be delivered to the card company or the bank over a network in the “verification” process. The password may be erased unless the “verification” process is conducted after the “registration” process.

A process for checking whether the account is registered in the bank in the terminal can be included. If there is an account has been registered in the bank, the information entered in the “registration” process can be erased. According to another embodiment, if there is an account that has been registered in the bank previously, the information entered in the “registration” process may be stored and existing account information registered may be erased. When the “registration” information matches account information which does not complete the “verification”, the “verification” process of corresponding account information can initiate. According to yet another embodiment, a plurality of account information may be entered even in the same bank as the existing account of the completed registration. Existing bank information registered may be utilized in the “verification” process or the “registration” process.

The “verification” process can include a process for displaying T&C received from the bank or the card company. Alternatively, T&C stored in the terminal may be displayed. Also, a process for entering user personal information may be included. Corresponding personal information can include at least one of a user name, a user nationality, a user's gender, a user's birthday, a terminal provider, and a user's phone number. The entered user personal information can be transmitted to the bank or the card company.

A process for connecting corresponding account information with verification information of the terminal before sending the user personal information to the bank or the card company can be included. The verification information of the terminal can use a method for entering at least one of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and a password such as characters/numbers/special character, and a method for using user body information, at least one of finger print, iris, and face recognition. Also, the user may be verified using other application installed on the terminal. The verification information may be set in the “verification” process, or utilize existing information stored. Also, the user body information of the verification information may be registered in the verification process, or utilize existing body information stored. When the user is verified using other application stored in the terminal, the corresponding application can be an application relating to the bank or the card company involved in the account. The user may be verified using an additional verification method such as password input or Automated Response System (ARS) through a corresponding application and a corresponding verification result may be used in the “verification” process.

Additional verification using user's signature information according to policies of the bank or the card company may be enabled. Alternatively, besides the signature information, an additional verification process can proceed according to the policies of the bank or the card company. A corresponding process is always feasible during the “verification” process. The additional verification method can be at least one of One Time Password (OTP), verification using a security card, and verification using ARS.

When the “verification” process is completed, the terminal registration of the account information is completed.

When a Back key configured with H/W or S/W of the terminal is pressed during the “registration” process and the “verification” process, whole information may be erased without storing corresponding information. According to another embodiment, when the Back key is pressed, at least part of corresponding information may be stored. When the Back key is pressed during the “verification” process with the “registration” completed, at least part of information entered in the “registration” process can be stored.

When the “verification” process is not completed and aborted in the middle, a card or bankbook image may be shaded and displayed. Alternatively, inactive display of a corresponding card or bankbook can be displayed to the user using other method.

For a band or a card company not supported by the terminal, a popup notifying out-of-service can be displayed to the user. Alternatively, a popup notifying out-of-service can be displayed for a bankbook or a card not supported by the terminal. The popup can include a reason why the terminal does not support.

When the account information is completely registered, the complete registration can be displayed to the user. Upon completing the registration, the terminal can display the account information and bank service information through the terminal together.

Contents which can be displayed together can include an account name, account information, a daily transaction limit, and supportable ATM information. Separately, information about the daily transaction limit and a setting method can be displayed to the user.

Immediate payment using corresponding account information can be added to setting. The terminal can display a list of stores enabling the immediate payment using corresponding account information. Also, the terminal can also display benefit information for the user in the immediate payment using corresponding account information.

According to various embodiments, a balance of the account in relation to the completely registered account can be checked. To check the balance of the account, a password of the account may be entered. Also, with the balance checked, a withdrawal step may proceed immediately.

On an amount withdrawal screen, the user may enter his/her intended amount and select an intended bill type to withdraw. Also, the user can pre-select whether to output a receipt regarding the withdrawal. The terminal may send the selected information to the ATM in the withdrawal process and thus the withdrawal may proceed without a user's additional input. Corresponding setting may be pre-selected based on user's past information. The user's past information can be generated based on at least one of recent use information, use information of high frequency, or similar use information of other person.

The terminal can communicate account information and withdrawal information with the ATM using short-range communication such as Near Field Communication (NFC)/Bluetooth (BT)/Wireless Fidelity (WiFi). Alternatively, the terminal may communicate with the ATM using long-distance communication such as 3^(rd) Generation (3G). When the terminal communicates with the ATM, the user verification is completed and accordingly the withdrawal process can proceed without a user's input.

A balance of a corresponding account can be updated immediately after the withdrawal process. The corresponding balance may be updated by receiving corresponding information from the bank or the card company. According to another embodiment, when receiving information notifying a successful transaction from the bank or the card company or the ATM, the terminal may directly calculate and display the balance by applying the input withdrawal amount information to existing balance information.

The terminal can display status information of the completely registered account information. The terminal can display one of a normal account such as XXXX, an account requiring the “verification” process, and an abnormal account requiring an additional action. When the additional action is required, the user can make the corresponding account normal by using the ARS or visiting the bank and the normal account can be displayed.

Detailed information regarding the completely registered account can be displayed. The detailed information can display corresponding information when a corresponding account is unavailable. Also, the detailed information can display a deposit/withdrawal list of the account. Also, the deposit/withdrawal list may enable “cancel”. Also, the user may view contact information of a customer service and T&C information in relation to the account. Also, an icon for deleting the account may be displayed together.

The verification method when cash is withdrawn using the entered account information and the verification method when the payment proceeds immediately can be different or the same. Even when the verification methods are the same, different passwords and biometric information can be set.

According to various embodiments, the terminal can use various methods to drive a pay application to proceed with the payment. When tagging to NFC of the ATM, the terminal can display account information list enabling the withdrawal. When bank information is received from the ATM, account information relating to a corresponding bank may be displayed.

When recognizing a user's particular gesture even in a lock screen state or in a turned-off screen, the terminal may drive the pay application. Also, even when recognizing a particular gesture in an idle screen state, the terminal may drive the pay application. To recognize the gesture, the terminal can drive recognition software for recognizing the gesture always in a background and drive the pay application only for a particular gesture.

According to various embodiments, after driving the application, the user can perform a user input so as to display a card or a bankbook relating to an intended account to settle at the center of the screen. A corresponding user input can include scrolling.

When the card or bankbook relating to the user's intended account is displayed at the center of the screen, the terminal can proceed with the payment by inputting a verification method pre-selected by the user. The recognition method can include password entering and biometric information recognition. When an input or a user gesture regarding “Withdraw” is input, rather than the pre-selected verification method, the cash withdrawal process can proceed.

After the verification is completed, the terminal can check a current battery state before the settlement. When a remaining battery power is lower than a preset value, the terminal can display unavailable settlement to the user and abort the payment process.

Next, the electronic device can receive the account password of the bank from the user.

After the bank account password verification is completed, the terminal can send payment information to a PoS terminal through NFC and MST. When detecting an NFC signal, the terminal aborts MST transmission. As sending the payment information through the NFC and the MST, the terminal can display an animation displaying a payment time limit. As sending the payment information through the NFC and the MST, the terminal can notify the user of the payment information delivery using the animation, a vibration, or a sound. The displaying of the animation, the vibration, or the sound can change according to user's setting.

As sending the payment information through the NFC and the MST, input of a multitasking H/W key may not operate. This can be implemented using a method which generates H/W interrupt but does not process a corresponding interrupt at an AP stage and a method which does not generate the H/W interrupt at all.

When the payment is completed, payment information can be displayed to the user. Corresponding payment information may be received from the card company or the bank, received directly from the PoS (over a short-range or long-distance network), or received from an intermediate server which forwards payment information of the PoS to the card company or the bank. The corresponding payment information can display a payment complete time, an authorization number, a merchant name, and a payment amount. Also, an icon for canceling the payment may be displayed together. When the payment is canceled, the cancelled payment with (−) may be displayed to the user.

When the payment is completed and an additional promotion event is available, the terminal can display corresponding information together with the payment information.

After the application is driven, a user input can be performed to display the card or the bankbook relating to the user's intended account at the center of the screen. A corresponding user input can include scrolling.

When the card or the bankbook relating to the user's intended account is displayed at the center of the screen, and when a user's touch input occurs at an icon relating to “Withdraw” or a predefined gesture is input, the terminal can proceed with the withdrawal process.

Next, the user can enter an account password of the bank or the card company. Verification through a corresponding password or verification through other method can be determined according to the policies of the bank or the card company. Also, a verification result of the corresponding password can be determined by the bank or the card company and delivered to the terminal.

When completing the verification of the bank or the card company, the terminal can display corresponding account information to the user. The corresponding account information can include the balance of the account.

When the verification of the bank or the card company is completed, withdrawal information can be received from the user. The withdrawal information can include at least one or more of a withdrawal amount, a type of user's favorite bill, and whether to output a receipt. The terminal may send the withdrawal information to the ATM in the withdrawal process and the withdrawal can proceed without user's additional input. Corresponding setting may be pre-selected based on user's past information. The user's past information can be generated based on at least one of recent use information, use information of high frequency, or similar use information of other person.

After the bank account password verification is completed, the terminal can perform self verification. The verification in the terminal can use a method for entering a PIN or biometric information. When at least one of biometric information stored in the terminal is modified before the self verification process using the biometric information, the corresponding verification process can perform user verification once more using the biometric information and additional verification information. Also, the terminal can control operations of a biometric recognition sensor to conduct biometric verification only when the withdrawal information is entered. In case of an iris, a camera can be driven after the withdrawal information is entered. In case of a fingerprint sensor, the terminal can drive the fingerprint sensor after the withdrawal information is entered. In case of a display-integrated fingerprint sensor, fingerprint can be verified at the same time as the user presses an end button. Also, the terminal may display the sensor driving to the user together with the sensor operation. According to yet another embodiment, the terminal can verify the user by driving the camera at the same time as the withdrawal information input starts and recognizing user face or iris information. According to still another embodiment, the terminal can verify the by driving the display-integrated fingerprint sensor at the same time as the withdrawal information input starts and recognizing a fingerprint upon the user input.

After the self verification is completed, the terminal can deliver the withdrawal information to the ATM through the NFC and the MST and attempt the withdrawal.

When the withdrawal information is entered, the self verification is conducted, and a delayed time exceeds the time limit, the terminal can re-conduct the verification of the bank or the card company. Corresponding time limit can vary according to the policies of the bank or the card company.

When exceeding the daily transaction amount limit, the terminal calculates a corresponding amount and informs the excess to the user. For doing so, the terminal can store a transaction amount on a daily basis in a corresponding account and notify the user when a sum of entered amounts exceeds.

When the user inputs the amount, “, (comma)” may be displayed automatically at every three digit.

When exceeding the daily transaction amount limit, the terminal may inform the user of the amount excess. The daily transaction amount may vary according to the policies of the bank or the card company, and can be greater than a current balance. According to the policies of the bank or the card company, a corresponding value may be stored in the application.

As delivering the withdrawal information to the ATM through the NFC and the MST, the terminal can display an animation displaying a withdrawal information delivery time. As sending the withdrawal information through the NFC and the MST, the terminal can inform the user of the withdrawal information delivery through an animation, a vibration, or a sound. The displaying of the animation, the vibration, or the sound can change according to user's setting.

While the withdrawal information is delivered through the NFC and the MST, the input of the multitasking H/W key may not operate. This can be implemented using the method which generates H/W interrupt but does not process a corresponding interrupt at the AP stage and a method which does not generate the H/W interrupt at all.

The withdrawal result can be displayed through a notification. A corresponding notification may be received from the bank or the card company, or directly from the ATM. The displayed withdrawal result can include at least one of a bank name, a bank logo, a transaction time, a transaction amount, and an ATM location.

When the withdrawal is completed, the withdrawal information can be displayed in the form of a receipt, which can display at least one of the withdrawal ATM, the transaction time, and the transaction amount.

Different errors can occur in some cases during the withdrawal process. When an error occurs, a reason of the corresponding error can be displayed together.

When a particular condition is not satisfied in the PIN registration process, the PIN registration is disabled. The particular condition can be information directly relating to the user, which can include a user name, a birthday, account information, a phone number, an address, and so on.

When the bank or the card company checks a server, the account withdrawal or transaction of the corresponding bank or card company can be disabled.

When the same account is registered already for the same bank, the terminal can notify corresponding information to the user.

The terminal can prevent the same account from registering over a limited number of times in a day. To prevent the repeated registration of the same account, account information registered on a daily basis can be stored in the terminal or the server.

To register the account in the terminal, only the same account owner as the actual user of the terminal is allowed. When the terminal user and the account owner are different, the account registration can be aborted.

To register the account in the terminal, the phone number of the terminal should match a phone number of the account owner stored in the account. When the corresponding information differ, the account registration can be enabled by making a call to the bank or the card company, conducting additional verification, and changing the account owner phone number.
